dont actually jump as you goin on to the rail, just get enough speed to just glide off the jump onto the rail

that'd be nice, but unfortuately most park crews (at least around here) are snowboarders and make lips that require a bit of ollie in order to hit the rail, unless you wanna haul at it and only slide like the last half which is lame.

learn step ons, then you don't have to pop onto rails.

i think this is the first time I've ever heard of somebody having a problem with popping too much. I don't get it, are you jumping over the rail or something?

I think being able to pop on jumps really depends on the timing a lot more, at least for me that's the case because when I slide rails I probably go in at less than half the speed compared to the speed going in on kickers. Practice some straight airs first and concentrate on loading/bending your knees and popping right before your boots are past the lip that way you'll get a lot more pop. Make sure that you don't pop too hard though lol, You easily lose balance if you pop too hard.

jsut focus on straight airs off of jumps for a little while, and make sure youre popping well enough, and then try it with tricks and all that.

he likes to absorb the jump instead of popping off it. he just needs to learn how to jump.

nah im jus comin in high of the kicker and (i guess to exaggerate it for a good mental pic) slamming down on the rail. like i jump to much i guess

and not popping enough off lips of jumps for me is timeing, as meski said i jus gotta get timeing down so i dont absorb the lip.

are you dissing step ons? cause your grammer is atrocious, i can't tell what you're trying to say, unless you meant dank, and wrote dork on accident, in which case i'd have to agree, if you know how to step on smoothly, they look dank.
